JERUSALEM (WNS)—Tbe government announced it would raise the issue of renewed Iraqi persecution of Jewish families at a Knesset session April 29. Foreign Minister Abba Eban said reports he received "con¬ firmed the very strong probability that there have been murders in Baghdad and kidnappings and disappearances as well." Tbe Israel News Agency, HTM, reported April 25 that five members of a Jewish family were shot to death last week try Iraqi secret service men. Two older boys from the same family were kidnapped several months ago, and are presumed to have been killed.

The American Jewish committee reported that according to information reaching its Paris office, two more Jews were recently murdered in Baghdad. They were identified only as Dr. violet Toeg and her husband.
.TEBUSALEM (WNS) — Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir said Israel must make clear that its presence In ihe ao'ministered territories is onlytemporary and that under a peace agreement with its neighbors it intends to return much of the territories and their populations, but that for security reasons there can never be a return to the pre-June 1967 borders. Sapir, one of the most powerful leaders of the ruling Labor Party, said mat security must be the solei criteria.determining^ Israel's future borders, and denounced advocates of - annexation on historical, religious or emotional grounds. He was referring to claims try Orthodox and extreme nationalist factions that Israel must keep all the territories that were Jewish in Biblical times. He warned that 4 million Arabs within Israel's borders would be "dynamite which would blow up the State."
UNITED NATIONS (WNS) — Ambassador John Seal! said be believes the April 21 Security Council
i i resolution condemning Israel for its raids in Lebanon represented "a small step forward" because it also included forthe first time, a condemnation of terrorist
■' violence. He said the U.S. refrained from vetoing; the resolution for that reason, but also because a veto
,j "might have been seized on''by the hardlines and in-
..' deed some of the fanatics on the Arab side 'as a signal to launchattacks and propaganda against the United States, alleging it proved American complicity in tbe raid."

Kissinger Says U.S. To Continue To Discuss Soviet Jewry Problems Related To Emigration
WASHINGTON (JTA) - Dr. Henry Kissinger said on May 3 the United States government will continue discussions with Soviet leaders "on some of the problems" related to the Soviet emigration policy that has concerned over¬ whelming majorities in both houses of Congress. However, President Nixon's foreign policy advisor did
not identify the problems in expressing hope that the Congress in time will ap¬ prove the most favored nation trade treatment to the Soviet Union. He left on May 3 for Moscow for meetings with Soviet leaders. Dr. Kissinger, commenting on MFN in response te a question from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency at a White House
news conference, said: "We have made very clear, and I repeat it here that the Ad¬ ministration is strongly supporting the provisions in the trade bill that would enable the President to grant MFN to the Soviet Union. It is the President's intention, and if the provision is ap¬ proved, to grant it to the Soviet Union. It is fur¬ thermore the belief of this Administration that the issue of MFN for the Soviet Union is part of the whole fabric of our negotiation with tiie Soviet Union over a period of two years and
should not be separated as an issue to be addressed in isolation."
'■And finally we believe mat the exchanges that took place between the Soviet leadership and the President on tiie issue of the exit visas substantially meets the concerns that were ex¬ pressed by many of the' signers of these resolutions. We hope that as the Congress studies the problem in the entire range, and as we continue our discussions with some, of the problems mat give rise to these con-

WASHINGTON (WNS) - President Nixon said the Middle East ' has 'higher priority than any other world crisis for the United States.

Jarring.
Dr. Henry Kissinger, in a White House news con¬ ference, reiterated that the U.S. favors both the com¬ prehensive and interim agreement, supports the arring mission and others that would "clear the Suez
Canal and bring about ;with-_ drawal from' some arjjMy*! The report said stabilitymv the Middle East "does not' depend only on an Arab:„ Israeli peace and 'stable! relationships with . jand among the great powers,".'■ but "also on strengthening,! regional forces ' for I cooper a ti on and bonaboration.", ?,'.
On his future agenda foi'\ the Middle East, Nixon said " the U.S. will address itself to ' three specific tasks: set- * tlement of the conflict through a process of negotiation; "the principles of restraint, peaceful set¬ tlement, and avoidance of confrontation that are set forth in the basic principles of U.S.Soviet relations must become enduring realities;" * '

She added: "Social and cultural integration will continue to be a major effort of Israel. ;: We hope to create a society where every social gap V subjective and objective, has been closed and where all individuals enjoy equal opportunities in education and in conditions of living."
President Zalman Shazar declared that Israel will continue to strive to "establish "cbmrnunication with our neighbors in this region" in order that both Israel and the Arab states will take steps to suc¬ cessfully "tiring into being that just and enduring peace essential to us all."
